Auto Assault had a lot of potential on the drawing board, but that just does not pan out in the retail version.
Getting into the game takes some time. Having played games with stellar graphics and superb menus, it took awhile before I was fully use to the layout of the game. Once that was overcome, it was still hard to fully enjoy this game. The driving was pretty good, but there was no real sense of amazing speeds and some of the jumps were a little too unrealistic. The sounds that the vehicles make are pretty weak as well.
Something that was entertaining was the amount of enemies that would spawn. In any given location, there would usually be tons of enemies to attack. This made the game fun, but sometimes this was a little too overwhelming and it made it too hard to know where everything is.
The quests in the game were, for the most part, simple shoot 'em up style quests. When you talk to someone, they would normally want you to go and take something out or to go talk to someone else about something. These sorts of quests were fun at first, but start to lose their flair once you've done around 100 of these.
There is also content where you can exit you vehicle in towns. The graphics here aren't that great, and are especially awful on the character running animations. Even trying to move the character is somewhat of a chore since the character does not always seem to more in a flowing sort of motion. If done properly, this aspect could have really added to the gaming experience.
Auto Assault looked like a good game from the box cover, but once you sit down and play it there really isn't much to it. It could have been put together so much better and made it at least worth the monthly fee. If you like cars and you enjoy blowing stuff up your satisfaction will not be quenched by this game.
